TSA Climate Action

Tyre Stewardship Australia is taking climate action by measuring and managing carbon emissions via a rigorous program with Trace. 

We are committed to reducing the environmental harm of used tyres and taking responsibility for the carbon emissions we generate. Partnering with Trace has enabled us to measure our carbon footprint and supports us in managing and reducing our impact effectively.

To minimise our ecological footprint, we have introduced several initiatives. These include procuring renewable energy, implementing sustainability guidelines for procurement, travel, and events, and enhancing our offices' waste management system. To improve waste management at our primary office, we've introduced a FOGO (Food Organics, Garden Organics) and CDS (Container Deposit Scheme) bin system, along with source separation bins for products that cannot be recycled through traditional streams, such as blister packs and batteries.

These actions are just the beginning of our journey to reducing our environmental impact, we will continue to learn and expand our initiatives along the way. Our business operations will still produce greenhouse gas emissions despite our current measures. To mitigate the impact of these emissions, we have accounted for our scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions through investments in carbon offsets. Investing in carbon offsets enables us to contribute to vital projects both domestically and internationally that reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. We invest in projects supported by Trace that are verified by external audit bodies, like Verra Verified Carbon Standard and align with our organisational values.
